Description

Yb 2SiO 5The sol-gel process for preparing of powder

Technical field

The invention belongs to Prepared by Sol Gel Method ceramic ultrafine powder body field, be specifically related to a kind of monodispersed submicron level ytterbium silicate (Yb ₂SiO ₅) the collosol and gel preparation technology of powder.

Background technology

Fiber reinforcement SiC ceramic matric composite, for example SiC fiber reinforcement SiC (SiC/SiC), C fiber reinforcement (C/SiC) might replace the hot junction structure unit that Ni base superalloy is used to aero-turbine because of it has superior mechanical behavior under high temperature with stability.Yet a subject matter of existence is its deficient in stability in containing the high-speed fuel gas environment of high-temperature vapor.Adding coating at composite material surface is effective ways of head it off.Units such as NASA have carried out big quantity research to this.The result shows, in various coated materials, rare earth silicate, especially ytterbium silicate, because of it possess superior resistance to elevated temperatures, in water vapour high stability and become with the chemistry of SiC and mechanical compatibility one of candidate material of application prospect arranged most.Preparation rare earth silicate powder is used solid phase method usually at present, and synthesis temperature is more than 1600 ℃, and the gained powder is a micron order.Sol-gel method is a kind of common methods for preparing superfine powder, advantages such as synthesis temperature is low, the gained diameter of particle is little that it has.The collosol and gel preparation method of yttrium silicate, silicic acid lutetium powder has appeared in the newspapers and has led, and the collosol and gel preparation method of ytterbium silicate powder still is not reported.

Summary of the invention

The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of Yb ₂SiO ₅The collosol and gel preparation technology of powder.

The submicron order Yb that the present invention proposes ₂SiO ₅The collosol and gel preparation technology of powder is to be raw material with tetraethoxy (TEOS), ytterbium nitrate, and hydrolysis and condensation reaction take place in water and alcoholic solution, obtains Yb ₂SiO ₅Aqueous precursor gel obtains Yb by high-temperature heat treatment again ₂SiO ₅Submicron powder.Operational path as shown in Figure 1.Concrete steps are as follows:

(1) with ytterbium nitrate Y _b(NO ₃) ₃NH ₂O (n=6～7) is dissolved in ethanol under 70-80 ℃ of water bath condition, get the ytterbium nitrate ethanolic soln of concentration range at 1.0～7.0mol/L.After solution temperature is dropped to room temperature (15～20 ℃);

(2) at ambient temperature, TEOS is added in the ytterbium nitrate ethanolic soln, stirring mixes it, control TEOS: H ₂O: C ₂H ₅OH (mol ratio) is in 1: 12: 5～1: 12: 30 scope;

(3) (volume percent hydrochloric acid/TEOS=3%) dropwise join in the above-mentioned solution obtains reaction mixture with a certain amount of catalyzer hydrochloric acid under whipped state;

(4) with above-mentioned reaction mixture vigorous stirring 5min～24h under 70-80 ℃ of water bath condition, obtain faint yellow transparent colloidal sol;

(5) with colloidal sol at room temperature ageing 10h～30h get wet gel;

(6), and in mortar, be ground into fine powder with wet gel dry xerogel in 200 ℃ of baking ovens;

(7) dry gel powder is calcined 1h down at 1200 ℃ and get Yb ₂SiO ₅Powder.

The present invention adopts sol gel process in technical scheme, (1200 ℃) have made single dispersion Yb at a lower temperature ₂SiO ₅Sub-micro ground rice.Whole process is roughly as follows:

Hydrolysis and polycondensation take place in TEOS, generate the Si-O-Si key.While Yb ³⁺Can participate in the hydrolysis condensation reaction of TEOS, break the Si-O-Si key and form the Si-O-Yb key.Along with further carrying out of hydrolytie polycondensation, the three-dimensional, amorphous network of Si-O-Yb forms, and promptly obtains Yb ₂SiO ₅Aqueous precursor gel.Gel is that colloidal particle interconnects into skeleton and the space reticulated structure that forms, and has filled up liquid in skeleton structure, but the liquid that is full of between rack can not flow, and the colloidal particle that constitutes rack has certain kindliness, and semi-solid state demonstrates flexibility.Yb ₂SiO ₅Aqueous precursor gel removed weak bonded water and ethanol molecule before this in heat treatment process, remove strong bonded water molecules thereafter, and the nitrate radical generation decomposition reaction in the network.Then be and the decomposition of the alkoxy grp (owing to hydrolysis condensation reaction does not exist fully) of Si atomic linkage and the burning of residual carbon.At 700 ℃, gel remains amorphous state substantially, but a small amount of Yb is arranged ₂O ₃And SiO ₂Generate.The crystallization of Si-O-Yb random network takes place in gel about 1000 ℃, generate Yb ₂SiO ₅, but also have Yb ₃SiO ₅And Yb ₂Si ₂O ₇Two kinds of thing phases.Gel 1200 ℃ the calcining 1h after, Yb ₃SiO ₅And Yb ₂Si ₂O ₇Eliminate, only have Yb ₂SiO ₅, and crystallization fine (shown in Fig. 2 X ray diffracting spectrum).

Because of using ytterbium nitrate Yb (NO among the present invention ₃) ₃NH ₂O (n=6～7) makes raw material, has determined water and TEOS mol ratio to be approximately 12: 1.Ethanol and TEOS mol ratio have remarkable influence to sol-gel process.Ethanol and TEOS mol ratio are high more, and hydrolysis condensation reaction is slow more, final resulting Yb ₂SiO ₅The powder footpath is more little.Yet ethanol and the too high meeting of TEOS mol ratio cause the colloidal sol that generates stable always and can not be transformed into aqueous precursor gel.

Have that technology is simple, good reproducibility and prepared Yb ₂SiO ₅The particle diameter of powder is characteristics such as submicron order.Be expected to be applied to the anti-oxidant and degeneration coated material of fibrous reinforcement SiC ceramic matric composite.
